Chapter 68: The Fourth and Third Princes

After the banquet was over, because it was late, Liu Chang arranged the three peach brothers to rest in the guest room, and he went back to the house to sleep with the help of Fan Li, who accompanied the wine. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info

In a trance, it seemed that someone was knocking on the door and calling. Because the alcohol was not dispersed and he went to bed late, Liu Chang didn't open his eyes, and shouted in a deep voice impatiently: "Who knocked on the door?" ”

"Master, it's me, Ah Si!"

"Huh?" Liu Chang heard that it was the previous manu, and now Liu Asi, who had been promoted to the second housekeeper, turned over, faced the ceiling, and asked, "What time is it?" ”

"It's almost a moment before the rooster crows."

"It's not yet the rooster crows, what's the matter?" Liu Chang's sleepy eyes were hazy, and when he heard that the rooster had not yet arrived, he couldn't help but be a little annoyed.

Perhaps hearing his master's unkind tone, Liu Asi was not in a hurry to reply, and after thinking for a while, he said patiently: "Master, General Cao Mengde is outside the gate of the mansion, and he called the little one to wake up the master and say that he would go to the morning court with you." ”

"......", as soon as Liu Chang heard the word "early dynasty", all the wine and drowsiness went. Meditate in my heart: early dynasty, early dynasty. This is the first time since the time of crossing over to the big stage, and this time the court will really decide its own fate. Everything before was still within the framework of historical inertia, and after today's court meeting, it will more or less detach itself from the original history, and whether or not you can have a smooth future will be all on this day.

quickly put on his clothes, opened the door, looked at Ah Si, suddenly remembered something, blinked and asked, "Who did you just say is outside the mansion?" ”

Liu Asi glanced at his master, and saw that his clothes were a little untidy because he was in a hurry, so he replied while helping to smooth out: "It's General Cao Mengde, who broke the yellow scarf with the master, and said that he wanted to accompany the master to the court." ”

"Oh!" Liu Chang was a little surprised, this Cao Apo was willing to come and wait for my white body to go to the court together, it seems that this Cao Cao is still quite righteous and virtuous.

"Haha, I didn't expect that your master and I were lucky, I haven't officially become an official yet, and I have officialdom friends! Let's go, let's see. At the moment, Liu Chang told Cao Cao's life experience while walking, and when Liu Asi heard that Cao Cao was actually the son of the former Taiwei Cao Song, he couldn't close his mouth in surprise, and his admiration for his master in his heart was a little more, and his loyalty could be said to have exploded.

Halfway through, Liu Asi suddenly stopped and said with a frightened face: "Oops, I almost forgot." Master, in addition to General Cao, there is also a Chinese car parked outside the gate of this mansion, and there seem to be two young adults in the car. ”

"Oh?" This made Liu Chang a little puzzled, Cao Cao came to pick him up, Shang Yin fought side by side when he begged for the yellow scarf, and he was already a friend, but who were the other two young officials in the Huache, it was difficult to guess. Suddenly, Cao Cao's resume flashed in his mind, and he couldn't help but wonder: Could it be the two of them?

Liu Chang thought about it for a while, and then continued to walk out.

Outside the gate of Liu's mansion, Cao Cao was dressed in a military attache uniform, pressing his sword in his hand, and looked up and down at Liu Chang's mansion. But see the Zhumen blue bricks, there is a nine-curved covered bridge from the gate, the rough view is the residence of a group of elegant people, and then carefully look at it, and find its unusualness.

Cao Cao stroked his beard with his hand, narrowed his eyes slightly, and muttered softly: "What a Liu Shiming!" ”

Not long after, Liu Chang had arrived, and he saw Cao Cao walking outside the gate of the mansion from a distance, so he hurriedly hugged his fists and said, "Oh, Brother Meng De came here in the early morning, and the foolish brother really didn't expect that he would keep his brother waiting for a long time." ”

"Haha, it's okay, it's okay!" When Cao Cao saw Liu Chang, he also returned a fist salute.

After greeting Cao Cao, he followed Cao Cao to prepare to take the Chinese car to the court.

This so-called Chinese car, that is, the luxury carriage with particularly good decoration, this kind of car is generally pulled by two horses, and the back carriage is all kinds of decoration, this car is only equipped in the official eunuch's house, the big clan, the big businessman's house, which is a bit similar to the Maserati, Rolls-Royce, Aston Martin, Lamborghini, etc., must not be rich and noble. Ordinary people can support an ordinary carriage at most, just like Chery, BYD and so on.

Liu Chang followed Cao Cao and looked at the luxurious carriage as he walked, but when he saw that there were four horses in this carriage, the carriage behind it was also very large, and the decoration was even more beautiful, with all the gold carvings and jade ornaments, he couldn't help but smack his tongue: "What a beautiful car!" ”

Cao Cao on the side smiled, stretched out his hand to pat Liu Chang's shoulder, and whispered: "Brother Shiming wouldn't be surprised when he saw the people in the carriage. ”

Hearing Cao Cao say this, Liu Chang already knew who was sitting in the car in his heart, and couldn't help but feel a little disdainful, and said silently: It is really a vain name and a flashy person.

However, the disdain in his heart returned to contempt, but at this moment, he still followed Cao Cao into the carriage closely.

The two people in the car were dressed in military attache uniforms, the difference was that one of them was wearing a lot of jade ornaments, and his eyes were playful; while the other person had blazing eyes, a serious expression, and an extraordinary bearing. On closer inspection, there are quite a few similarities between the two, and it is inferred that they are brothers.

"Hey, Ahu, that's the friend you're talking about?" The person who spoke was the one with a playful look in his eyes, and his words were quite disdainful.

"Haha, come on, Brother Shiming, let me introduce you," After Cao Cao and Liu Chang sat down, Cao Cao didn't pay attention to the person and started to introduce him directly.

First of all, he pointed to the person with a serious expression and said: "This is Yuan Shao, the nephew of Yuan Kui, the former Situ of the dynasty, Yuan Benchu, and now the history of the general's mansion." Then he pointed to the person who spoke just now, "This is also the nephew of Situ Yuan Kui, Yuan Shu, Yuan Highway, and now Sima of the General's Mansion." ”

Then Cao Cao pointed to Liu Chang and introduced: "This is the hero I met during the crusade against the Yellow Turban, Liu Chang, Liu Shiming, because the imperial court temporarily took away the wartime official position, and is now white. ”

At this time, the carriage had already begun to walk, Liu Chang straightened his body, and clenched his fists slightly without much expression: "I have heard for a long time the family of the fourth and third princes of the Yuan family, and it is really a blessing to meet the two today!" ”

"Haha!" Yuan Shaoluo returned the salute, "Shao has never heard the name of Brother Shiming at the general's place!" ”

"Oh? Why is that? "Liu Chang since he entered the WTO, mostly in the front line of the crusade against the Yellow Turban, the affairs of the capital are mostly handled by the old housekeeper and Cheng Yanjin, although I have also heard that because of his strong rise, it has aroused the interest of Emperor Ling of the Han Dynasty, coupled with the offensive of the silver bullet, the ten permanent servants are also friendly with themselves, and because of the poetry in the free time of the war, his image among the scholars is also high. But being able to enter the pig slaughtering general He Kou is really a strange news, and he can't help but be curious.

Seeing Liu Chang's face full of doubts, Yuan Shao just smiled and said nothing, but Yuan Shu, who had always been unkind to his eyes, was bright, and said to Liu Chang with a narrow look: "The Shiming brothers have successively dedicated the heads of the three brothers of the thief Zhang Jiao to the imperial court, which can be regarded as a rare achievement of my Han dynasty for more than 400 years. ”

"......" Liu Chang was speechless for a while, and had to laugh embarrassedly, "It's not all about this credit!" If it weren't for General Huangfu Song and General Zhu Jun who were willing to listen to my plan, they would not have been able to achieve this achievement. ”

After a short chat, the four people in the car got acquainted with each other, after all, in addition to Liu Chang, Cao Cao, Yuan Shao, and Yuan Shu are all heroes in the world, maybe it's because heroes cherish heroes!

After about a quarter of an hour, the carriage stopped. Liu Chang got out of the car with the Yuan Shao brothers and Cao Cao.

At this moment, Liu Chang was shocked by the sight in front of him. Because of this court meeting, officials at the level of Taishou from all over the country also came to participate, so the carriages in front of the palace gate were lined up one after another, and officials at all levels were lined up outside the palace gate, which was really a hundred civil and military officials.

Liu Chang followed the Yuan brothers and Cao Cao and walked all the way towards the palace gate. The officials couldn't help but look at three of the people in this group wearing court clothes, while one person was only wearing civilian clothes.

"I've seen my uncle!" Yuan Shao and Yuan Shu walked straight to Yi'e Guanbo Belt, and bowed in gorgeous court clothes.

", I've seen Lord Situ." Cao Cao, who followed closely, also saluted the elder.

When Liu Chang saw it, he knew that this was Situ Yuan Kui, who was in the third duke. But seeing that Yuan Kui's face was full of arrogance, calm and relaxed, and he had a majesty that should not be underestimated, he only nodded in response to the juniors' greetings.

Not long after Liu Chang looked at Yuan Kui, he was pushed, making him stand directly in front of Yuan Kui, and a somewhat joking voice sounded behind him, "Uncle, this is Liu Chang, Liu Shiming." ”

Liu Chang was a little frightened by this push, and when he heard Yuan Shu say this, he quickly bowed his head and half-knelt to salute: "Grass people Liu Chang, meet Lord Situ!" ”

"Oh, you're Liu Chang? Excuse me. Yuan Kui heard that the chubby young man in front of him was Liu Chang, the descendant of the famous Zhongshan Jing in the sea, so he stretched out his hand to help him up, and when he was about to speak, there was a commotion in the crowd.

"The general has arrived!"

With a trumpet, a cart pulled by eight horses appeared in everyone's eyes. These eight horses are the second most noble in the world, and this first is naturally the emperor's nine horses. And the people who can ride the Eight Horses are basically those who are in power and in the opposition, or princes and kings. The three princes of the court did not have that treatment.

He Jin is burly, but he can't hide the rustic atmosphere and domineering expression on his face. Among the hundreds of officials, many of them were sloppy and patted horses, and when they saw He Jin, they stepped forward to show their goodwill. Yuan Shao, Yuan Shu and Cao Cao were originally subordinate officials of the General's Mansion, so they had to go with everyone to greet them.

Looking at this scene, Liu Chang didn't know what to do, whether to go with everyone to meet this pig slaughtering general, or stay by Situ Yuan Kui's side. Just as Liu Chang hesitated, a crack opened in the palace gate, and a little yellow door about fifteen or sixteen years old ran out trembling with a whisk of dust.

For a while, the noise stopped abruptly, and everyone stared at the little yellow door that came out of the palace.

Xiao Huangmen was not cowardly, and after glancing at everyone, he shouted sharply: "Your Majesty has a decree to summon several counties to order Liu Chang to enter the palace to meet ~"
